Intro. C Am Dm G C F C
[Dm]Fifty [C]years today her family [Am]sent her away
When a [F]boy from Connemara won her [G]heart[Am]
Be[G]fore she [C]left he [G]gave her a [C]ring
The most beautiful [Am]one she'd ever seen
To re[Dm]mind her of his love when they were a[G]par[Dm]t[G]

She left for [C]England alone
He went back to his [Am]Galway home
It was the [F]last time that they ever [C]kissed [G]goodbye[C][G]
Naver a[C]gain would he [G]hold her [C]near
With all of her [Am]heart she loved him dear
One last [F]promise she [C]made him [G]as she [C]cried[F][C]

Chorus
My Connemara [G]Marble [Am]ring every [F]where with [C]me I'll [F]bring
As [G]every one it's praises I [C]will sing[G]
On my [C]finger [G]it will [Am]stay forever un[F]til my [C]dying [F]day
How I [C]love my [Dm]Connemara [G]Marble [C]Ring[F][C].

G C Am Dm G C F C

The [F]years [C]quickly passed her by
Sometimes [Am]tears would fill her eyes
When she [F]told me of the promise [C]she had [G]made[C]
[G]Now I can [C]wear her [G]ring with [C]pride
I know my [Am]grandma never lied
Until to[F]day upon her [G]finger [Dm]it had [C]stayed[F][C]

​Song lyrics without the chords
Fifty years today her family sent her away
When a boy from Connemara won her heart
Before she left he gave her a ring
The most beautiful one she'd ever seen
To remind her of his love when they were apart

She left for England alone
He went back to his Galway home
It was the last time that they ever kissed goodbye
Naver again would he hold her near
With all of her heart she loved him dear
One last promise she made him as she cried

Chorus
My Connemara Marble ring every where with me I'll bring
As every one it's praises I will sing
On my finger it will stay forever until my dying day
How I love my Connemara Marble Ring



The years quickly passed her by
Sometimes tears would fill her eyes
When she told me of the promise she had made
Now I can wear her ring with pride
I know my grandma never lied
Until today upon her finger it had stayed

Repeat chorus
